The new NXT UK Champion will make an appearance in front of the crowd after Dragunov fought tooth and nail to unseat WALTER in what is a certain match of the year candidate at TakeOver 36. Also announced for next week is Tommaso Ciampa vs. Ridge Holland, and another open challenge by Roderick Strong . The Diamond Mine leader continues to have his eye on KUSHIDA’s Cruiserweight Championship, and he’ll hope to make a statement next Tuesday.
